Note: The following is part of a series of columns looking at the founding and general history of southeast Georgia and Bulloch County. The town of Donegal was located first north of Statesboro along the Dover and Statesboro Railroad line, and then later on Highway 301 between Clito Road and Scarboro (or Scarborough) Highway on County Road 474. Originally called Outland, the town of Dover was both a major depot on the Central of Georgia Railroad mainline and the terminus of the Dover and Statesboro Railroad.
